yep, good to be at home... :biggrin:
Tough day for Ferrari. The faster car did not come out ahead. But such is the way it plays out sometimes.
Well, Fernando Alonso did well over the weekend at Indianapolis. Pretty sure he'll outperform his McL teammates in Monaco.
And a wicked crash for Bourdais, Out for the season. That is a shame.

Mercs were off their pace in practice 2. Red Bull did very well.

i'm pulling for Ricciardo on Sunday, he was massively robbed last year and he goes good around this place.
the weather forecast here in Monaco is as perfect as it can get. sunny, 70's and zero chance of rain... :biggrin:

Irony!
Alonso, and other Hondas' blow up and the loyal Honda soldier Sato wins the race.

been in Cannes all week, and Monaco for the weekend. i'd highly recommend it mate. :wink:
as for Alonso, surely he is completely done with Honda now...

It's a hard life being in Monaco, but someone has to live it!
As for Alonso, first he would have to find someone else to fill his not inconsequential pay packet, that also gave him a realistic chance of actually having a shot at the prize!!
Sadly I think he can kiss any chance of a McLaren F1 Driver's Championship goodbye while he's still in the right age bracket. Unless Honda have a miracle turn-around before the end of this year. It has to be this year, because they can't afford to fuck around with developing the PU from the first F1 test next year, they need to be working full time on the chassis for a change.

The Hybrid engine has only benefited Mercedes and Ferrari. Honda is a great ICE developer, but has no real impact on the hybrid market. Even the new NSX hasn't been a seller once hoped. At least IndyCar uses ICE engines. Last 2 Indy wins where Honda powered.
Whilst dinner with Vettel would be fun, if Kimi were there that would have been awkward.
well of course....because his dinner date would have been beiber....
Ha ha, sad but true!

looks like McLaren isn't ruling out another engine supplier for next year:

they're "assessing all options for 2018"

^^^ real Racing with the Driver, changing gears, steering, over taking and correcting over an steering car....wonderful.
Engine in front, drum brakes, thin tires, no down force, and little in the way of safety, but pure enjoyment.
It's time to go racing in Canada!

Well this doesn't look encouraging.

Leaving in the next couple of hours for Montreal, for a great weekend of F1 Racing.
